The Northwestern European Regional Programming Contest 2012 was held today. The problem set is available on the NWERC site. Are there any Codeforces members who where onsite?

Me, Chortos-2 and Peteris were representing University of Cambridge and got 4th place. Although it is a gold, I doubt it will be enough for World Finals, as there is only 1 guaranteed place and last 2 years only 3 teams went through. But we had not a big gap, so maybe someone will get generous at IBM, but I wouldn't count on it.

Is the problem set been added to somewhere so that we can practice?

I think it will make sense to have just the 8 point teams go to the finals. Even though I deeply regret not getting B accepted in time and ending up in the sad 7 point group :-/

    Yeah, exactly. And the onsite contest (and everything around it) was well organized and just excellent overall. The organizers did a great job.

Been there! For me, it was a great experience because it was my first onsite contest and our team got 6th place :)
